"He wanted to work all night but we saw that he was completely worn out".
In the above sentence, we know the time of the event and now it completely has done. So, this sentence is all about past perfect continuous, where we use "Had Been".
Hope it will help you.
If I am wrong, Please correct me.

Hello,
The sentence, " He had completely been worn out " depicts a STATE. State of being worn out. So to describe STATES perfect tense is used. As the whole State Starts and ends in past, past perfect tense has been used.

Had should be used when there is an event following the sentence.
